Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Mc Cool, MS.

A crisis event, for example someone suffering the destructive consequences of a mental health disability like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Mc Cool is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This begins with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it turning into a possibly dangerous or hostile episode, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health crisis and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only benefits the person in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to properly treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
